Run Your Applications Locally, Over Your Organization's Network, or Anywhere in the World

Applications are easy to use and with COMSOL Server™, they are easy to access, deploy, and share, too. You can install the COMSOL Server™ software anywhere you would like. Typically, COMSOL Server™ is installed on a server or cluster within your organization's network, but it can also be installed for offline or personal use on a laptop or desktop computer

Applications are run through any popular web browser, such as the Google Chrome™, Firefox®, Internet Explorer®, Microsoft Edge®, or Safari® browsers. You do not need any plugins to run an application, yet you get immediate access to interactive 1D, 2D, and 3D graphics. On native Windows® operating systems, you can also run applications from an installed thin desktop client, COMSOL Client for Windows®, which can be downloaded for free from the Product Download page. If your application was built using components from one of the LiveLink™ products for CAD and it requires a connection to the third-party CAD program, then you need the desktop client.

While the Application Builder requires the Windows® version of COMSOL Multiphysics® to build applications, COMSOL Server™ is more flexible. You can run applications on Windows®, Linux®, and macOS platforms, as well as any operating system that supports most web browsers.

A simulation app created with the Application Builder is running in a browser.

Administrate and Run Your Applications with Ease

As the administrator, you have complete control over your organization's applications, including who can access and run them, via the web interface in COMSOL Server™. The main dashboard presents available applications in a straightforward Application Library format. From here, it is easy to launch applications and control their permissions within your organization.

Different menu items on the dashboard lead you to interfaces for monitoring your CPU and memory usage and controlling your sessions that are running applications. If COMSOL Server™ has been installed on several computers, the primary server's web interface gives you an overview of all user sessions across all secondary servers.

You can create and control user accounts and user groups, either on the fly or by linking to preexisting user databases on your network based on either Active Directory by Microsoft® or LDAP. From the level of an administrator or power user, you can also set permissions for user groups and grant Application Library access to users so that they can upload and edit applications. Other tools allow you to control where applications can be run using multiple cores or clusters, or restricted to a one-application-per-core basis.

Want to customize the web interface and your applications to match your organization's branding? Easy-to-use tools enable you to make the Application Library in COMSOL Server™, the applications that you run, and the web interface all your own.

The role of fiber optic cables in computer networks

A fiber optic cable is a network cable that contains fiberglass wires in an insulated housing. They are designed for high-speed, high-performance data networks and telecommunications.

Compared to wired cables, fiber optic cables offer higher bandwidth and can transmit data over longer distances.

Fiber optic cables support much of the world's Internet, cable, and telephone systems.

How Does Dark Fiber Work

Fiber optic cables carry communication signals using light pulses generated by small lasers or light emitting diodes (LEDs).

The cable consists of one or more strands of glass, each being only slightly thicker than a strand of human hair. The center of each strand is called the core, which provides the path for light to travel. The core is surrounded by a layer of glass called plating that reflects light inward to avoid signal loss and allows light to pass through the bends in the cable.

The two main types of fiber cables are called single-mode and multi-mode fibers . Single-mode fiber uses very thin glass wires and a laser to generate light, while multi-mode fibers use LEDs.

Single-mode fiber optic networks often use Wave Division (WDM) multiplication techniques to increase the amount of data traffic that can be transmitted over the wire. WDM allows light at several different wavelengths to be combined (multiplexed) and subsequently separated (de-multiplexed), effectively transmitting multiple communication streams through a single light pulse.

The advantages of fiber optic cables

Fiber cables offer more advantages than traditional long-distance copper cables.

Fiber optics has a higher capacity. The amount of network bandwidth that a fiber cable can carry easily exceeds that of a copper cable of similar thickness. 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps and even 100 Gbps fiber optic cables are standard.

Because light can travel much longer on a fiber cable without losing power, it reduces the need for signal amplifiers.

Fibers are less susceptible to interference. A traditional network cable requires special shielding to protect it from electromagnetic interference. While this shielding helps, it is not enough to prevent interference when many cables are tied together in close proximity to each other. The physical properties of glass and fiber cables avoid most of these problems.

Fiber to Home (FTTH), other implementations and fiber optic networks

While most fibers are installed to support long-distance connections between cities and countries, some residential ISPs have invested in expanding their fiber facilities in suburban neighborhoods for direct household access. Suppliers and industry professionals call these facilities "last mile".

Some of the most popular FTTH services on the market today include Verizon FIOS and Google Fiber. These services can provide gigabit internet speeds (1 Gbps) to every household. However, although suppliers also offer lower costs, they usually also offer their customers smaller capacity packages.

FTTP (Fiber to the Premises): Fiber to the building.

FTTB (Fiber to Building / Business / Block): Same as FTTP.

FTTC / N (Fiber at the edge of the knot): Fiber that is knotted, but then copper wires complete the connection inside the building.

Direct fibers: Fiber that comes out of the central office and is attached directly to a single customer. It offers the highest bandwidth, but is more expensive.

Shared record: similar to direct fiber, except that the fiber approaches the premises of nearby customers, is divided into other fibers for those users.

F5 Certified Solutions Expert (F5-CSE)

An F5 Certified Solutions Specialist works with clients to define security and technical requirements for the business, and then translates those requirements into solutions. Applicants must have solution design experience that covers all relevant aspects of LTM, DNS, ASM, and APM, as well as other F5 technologies such as BIG-IQ, MobileSafe, IP Intelligence (IPI) and WebSafe modules.
